Xbox filenames are limited to like 48 characters and there are a number of characters that will not work.  Searching the xbox-scene forums will get you the answer to the question "which characters are acceptable".

FatX: File Renamer v1.0.0

U can use it to rename whole directories real quick. Time saver when doing hundreds of roms. Google it.

I used Flash Renamer myself. Worked great and no limitations in the trial the first month

Keep in mind that , and + are not allowed. Do a simple search and replace...

I discovered the curiously named A.F.5 Rename Your Files, which does exactly what needs to be done (truncating file names).

http://www.fauland.com/af5.htm

Not only is the util Freeware, it is also very easy to use and the author has given me a preview of the new version 2.0, which allows you to drag and drop entire folder trees straight onto the app. Great for big MP3 collections, and an annoying omission in both FATX Renamer and FAST FATX Renamer.
